Roasted Beef Bone Marrow
Finding beef bones with marrow can be a challenge but lucky for me we buy a side of beef every year and I have them cut the bones with the marrow in them for me, after all we already paid for it so why not use them.
Bone marrow has many health benefits and is usually an expensive dish at restaurants. Bone marrow is full of collagen which improves health and strength of our bones and skin. It has glucosamine which helps with osteoarthritis, joint pain and inflammation. It also has vitamin A which supports healthy vision, the immune system and skin health.
Place parchment paper or foil on a large sheet pan that has an edge.
Place the bones with the marrow facing up even if you have the bones cut lengthwise. Lightly sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
Bake in a preheated 450º oven for 20 minutes depending on the size of the bone. A couple of mine were cut thin and they cooked too long and the marrow turned to a liquid. If the marrow begins to bubble on the surface it should be done.
Remove the bones to a plate and serve with toast, tortilla or pita chips, (or whatever you prefer) or eat with a spoon, which is what I love to do.
When I was a kid and we had round steak, which has one small round bone with marrow, we would fight over who would get the marrow each time. We mostly took turns from what I remember but my dad had it the most.
***If the bones are bloody, are not trimmed of tendons and fat then you must clean them first. This will draw out excess blood and any impurities. To do this make a solution of 1 cup water to 1 Tbsp. kosher salt, enough to cover the bones and then soak for 6-8 hours in the refrigerator. Discard the solution then allow the bones to air dry before baking.***

This looks so good!!
Thank you so much!
Fascinating
I learned to love marrow as a child but only from the small bone in a round steak. If you didn’t realize what is is, most people would think it was just fat.
Fab on toast
Yes a very popular way to eat it Sheree.
Oh Diane, you had me at marrow! I loved marrow growing up and it’s such a treat in bone soup – such as Vietnamese pho noodle soup. It definitely is pricier in restaurants but such a treat and it’s very smart of you not to waste any pieces of the meat that you already bought!
Try it with beef soup or stew next time. So so delicious!
I love marrow so much that it barely comes out of the oven and I take my little baby spoon, scoop it out and devour it. It wouldn’t have time to make it into soup or stew. 🤣 Luckily this is one thing my husband won’t try so it’s all mine. Lol I am so surprised by how many people love it!
There are videos on social media of influencers just eating bone marrow, plates full of them, with a spoon. They are oddly entertaining and enjoyable to watch! 😆
Haha I did the same thing, all of them on a plate with a baby spoon to make sure I didn’t miss any! See I need to become an influencer! 🤣
You’d be a hit!
You are so sweet Ab!
I have never eaten bone marrow and I am curious as to what it taste like. Does it taste like beef?
It is creamy and buttery tasting Bernadette. It has its own unique taste with a hint of beef flavor to me.
Rarely to find but super delicious 😋
It sure is, I went for years and didn’t think to ask for the bones with marrow, not anymore! We pay the butcher by the pound in hanging weight and that includes the bones. I’m thinking this year I will have them cut up the other bones for both my kids dogs.
This is a dish that is suddenly served in most restaurants and people love it! We haven’t made it ourselves yet, but thanks to you, we might try it now!
You’re welcome!
Thanks Diane, it’s too long ago since we last enjoyed bone marrow. Your dish looks delicious.
Thank you I ate the whole thing. Lol You’re very welcome!
It is supposed to be very healthy to have bone broth–another thing that is suddenly popular. I’m not sure i could appreciate the texture of this dish, but who knows? Your picture is very attractive.
I have made bone broth and it is a lot of work to make it properly. I did a post on it. Cooking the bones then smashing them with a hammer to get the marrow all out and lots of veggies. I froze all my veggies ahead of time that didn’t have much life in them including skins. It cooks for 24-36 hours and in my opinion is way too much work. I would eat the marrow from the bones way before going through all that again. I wish I could find it at the store but I settle for once a year from the side of beef we buy. I was told if you go to a butcher he will sell you the bones with marrow in it. It really is very creamy, buttery and delicious. Thank you Linda 🥰
Well, I learned something new today … I did not know of this delicacy, nor how to make it. Thank you for sharing this Diane.
You mean I finally taught you something new instead of the other way around! You’re welcome Linda.
Yes you did Diane! I learn a lot of things with your “Did you know?” series too. My mom used to make up large pots of soup in the Winter and we’d have it twice, then the rest went into the freezer. But in the Fall, she’d send me to the butcher shop for big bones for some of the soups.
That’s what made the soup so delicious!
Thank you for reposting!
I doubt I would ever get my husband to even try it, but it’s interesting.
Mine won’t either Susanne!
Roasted beef bone marrow is a decadent delicacy, rich in flavor and velvety texture. It’s like a savory treasure, offering a melt-in-your-mouth experience that’s both indulgent and comforting. Simply irresistible!
I agree!!!! Thanks for commenting.
